Tashkent to Restore Historic One-Storey Houses

Historic single-story houses are being restored in Tashkent, according to Instagram user urtimurtim. The restoration covers single-story buildings on the former Malyasov (Niyozbek yo'li), Uchitelskaya (Kary Niyazova) and Ordzhonikidze (Lashkarbegi) streets, which are being returned to their original historic appearance as architectural heritage sites.

Tashkent to Restore Historic One-Storey Houses

Residential building restoration work is drawing attention from local residents, who appreciate the preservation of the historical architectural character of the city's old quarters. According to one commenter, restoring these buildings allows history to be preserved for future generations.

Local residents are expressing interest in the restoration results. Some highlight the appeal of the restored buildings compared to modern multi-story construction. "I would love to live in one of these restored houses - I have no need for three-story cottages," one city resident wrote.

The project is also drawing criticism over past architectural losses. Critics note that some historical elements of the city's architecture, including the decorative columns with floral ornamentation from the former conservatory, were already lost in the past.

The initiative to restore historical quarters reflects growing attention to the preservation of Tashkent's cultural heritage amid active urban redevelopment.
